A junior engineer, who works for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil somehow became Jean’s master.

I suspect part of the reason for Neil’s small apartment is just a matter of lifestyle. He had no girlfriend and not much of a social life to speak of. There wasn’t any real reason for him to have more than a one bedroom.

Nothing will bring the girls running like the smell of desperation Roger. Sorry i meant nothing will make the run away like the smell of desperation. Besides under that pretty packaging is a man. Neil has to be the nicest person in the world with all the crap he’s been though he hasn’t freaked out on anyone yet. I am still hoping he comes un@#$/ed on Jean. Jean deserves a beating for all the crap she has put him though.

Actually, Natalie/Neil hooking up with Rodge could be an even nobler gesture on more than one level. Natalie can get Rodge to perform as an engineer; she would certainly be a good aunt for Caley; and Natalie could (mostly) relieve the rest of womankind from Rodge’s unwelcome attentions.

I’m guessing Caley will see Natalie later and Rodge will make up a story about her being his girlfriend. Then, for some reason or another, they’ll have to keep up the ruse (Caley grows attached to Natalie or something).

Also, How can Neil resist taking some time out to ogle that bod?! I recall Jean checking himself out in a mirror, but maybe they have different personalities.

Rodge introducing Natalie as his girlfriend seems like a no-brainer; where was my brain when I didn’t think of it?

As for “Natalie” not checking out her bod like Jean did, the guys that Jean(nie) TGs seem to turn more completely into females than Jean did. Remember how Natalie spent a week watching soaps? Remember how Red put on makeup the same evening she got TGed? Remember how the “captain” called Matt a “hot guy” before thinking? Remember how darned happy the “little Greek girl” looked the last time we saw her?
